I have just one question. Isnt it a disadvantage to ban first? No, I wouldnt say its a disadvantage to ban first, it is giving you the choice to get the a chance at a map you like. But realistically speaking, if you order the maps as Andes - Deccan - Orinoco, and your opponent orders them as Deccan...

I have just one question. Isnt it a disadvantage to ban first?

Maybe next week is better because therell be more time to advertise and spread the word?

Since wakinas and forest prowlers arent in there, it might be possible that they forgot to give cassadores a colonial variant. Because they gave goons (and cav archers) a colonial variant aswell, it seems they might not have wanted team early skirm/goon to give veteran units in colonial. So they mig...

So you are essentially a slave in exchange for tourist money? How much? The average income is about 30K or less. Thats what your freedom is worth? Just how much power do European monarchs (or basically any monarch outside of the middle east) have? Do you really think they have absolute rule just li...

How about forest prowlers and wakina rifles? Does a veteran upgrade exist for them?

Don't skirms only exist in colonial mode because of Dutch?

I wonder if it's even worth it to cut corners regarding walling. Walls are ridiculously cheap. Just read your post, you're talking about 30w+ (which is about equal to a large beaver treasure). It's crazy really.

The multiplier vs them might be slightly lower.

Is there possibility to host our own variant of the ELO site if this site moves to its own domain?

For anybody who wants to build those guns and loves math: m Depending on whether u wanna lose weight or gain weight u wanna stay nearly +-500 calories of ur basal metabolic rate cal number. Carbs and proteins are nearly 4 calories per gram and fats 9 calories per gram. I myself have been going to t...

Would be awesome if this were hosted on the official AoE channel... Not really. That doesnt allow us to export the video in good quality, which is the way most of the people will be watching it. Besides, we have the power to let AoE official host us, which means we will still have plenty of AoE2 pe...

Of course we are aware of that and that''s why the fan patch will be advirtised and we expect the whole switching process to take months. However you miss the point that events will be hosted on that patch too. So if people want to have a slightly more than casual experience with this game they wil...

I drink plenty of coffee. It's well known that sleep requirements differ per person. Whats sleeping too much might be just right for me, and what sleeping just enough might be for you might make me feel like Im going to fall over.

No! That varies from person to person. 9 might be too much for you, but it might not even be enough for me. During vacation I can consistently sleep 10 hours every night and feel fine. Nah you are just lazy and/or have an easy life. If I didnt have anything better to do I would sleep all day too. I...

Look, if its easy to get games going on the fan patch, then many people will switch. But the problem is convincing enough people to switch before its easy to get games going. At the higher levels thatll be easy, since the patch is clearly superior. On lower levels, where people dont even think otto ...

Ffa into iro rush = fun.

No! That varies from person to person. 9 might be too much for you, but it might not even be enough for me. During vacation I can consistently sleep 10 hours every night and feel fine.

Esoc maps are probably superior aswell. Yet I never see low level players play on them. Id want to bet the fan patch is going to not be played below the 2nd lt rank, or very rarely.

I''ve reported to Microsoft?several hackers with proof, like the one below: m As far as I know, all of the accounts are still active. This only goes to show that MS really doesn''t give a flip where gameplay in AOE III is concerned. From the standpoint of the forums I can see why -- the AOE III sec...

It would be hard getting the patch?trough them lol There are alot of players who just play some civs because they are OP etc.. Why unlikely? As long as one knows the existence of the FP he should have no doubts and switch asap. When people are sceptic you gotta convince them to play on the fan patc...

Where the hell did you see that? Thats a copyright violation (e.g. messing with official MS content and selling it).

lets try to track it down and have microsoft sue them. Im not even kidding.

garja wrote:Such as? What about all low-mid player start playing on the fanpatch too?

I find that pretty unlikely.

True, but it will be possible to easily switch to the patch and the normal version. You can do this very fast by actually restarting the game. If you meet someone who doesnt have the patch, you just restart the game and play the normal version. Besides being super simple to launch one or the other ...

Would be awesome if this were to be in the smackdown timeslot. Just for the off chance that a few people might miss the time otherwise.
